AUGUSTA - The head of the National Council of Women's Organizations -- Martha Burk -- made her first visit to Augusta over the weekend to scout out protest sites near Augusta National Golf Club. <br>
<br>
NOW and other groups plan to protest the club's all-male membership during the Masters golf tournament in April. <br>
<br>
Augusta-Richmond County officials say protesters will not be allowed near the golf club's main gates because of dangerous traffic on Washington Road. But Burk says the alternative protest sites are too far from the club. <br>
<br>
Burk would not give any details about the planned protest.
